Kirktonbarns is an ancient unenclosed settlement located 650 metres north of Kirktonbarns in Fife, Scotland. The site comprises scattered archaeological remains indicative of prehistoric or early historic occupation, characteristic of unenclosed settlements found throughout eastern Scotland. Such settlements typically date to the Bronze Age or Iron Age, though without excavation the precise chronology remains uncertain. The dispersed nature of the remains, lacking the defensive enclosures common to later settlements, suggests a community organised around pastoral or mixed subsistence activities during the pre-Roman Iron Age period.
